Bengals' Joe Burrow: Will start rest of regular season
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Joe Burrow will start the team's remaining three regular-season games despite having been eliminated from playoff contention, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.Taylor dismissed the notion that Cincinnati might consider sitting Burrow to preserve his health, in spite of the fact that the team's 24-0 loss to Baltimore in Week 15 closed the door on any chances of a playoff berth. "We want to win," Taylor said. Burrow missed nine games due to a turf toe injury before returning to action on Thanksgiving Day, when he earned a win against the Ravens, but the Bengals then lost to the Bills before he struggled mightily during the team's most recent matchup against Baltimore. He'll work to both close out the year strong and avoid any injuries during Cincinnati's next three matchups, beginning Sunday on the road against Miami.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Struggles in shutout loss
Joe Burrow was held to 225 passing yards in Sunday's shutout loss to the Ravens. He connected on 25 passes on 39 attempts, was picked off twice and sacked three times.Time after time, the Cincinnati Bengals moved the ball in the middle of the field, only to stall out when reaching Ravens territory. The final insult was a pick-six thrown by Burrow after they had driven the ball inside the Ravens' 10-yard line. With the loss, the Bengals have been eliminated from the playoffs and have some hard questions to answer for the long run. In the short term, they may even question whether it makes sense to risk Burrow re-injuring his toe in three meaningless season-ending games against Miami, Arizona and Cleveland.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Four TDs in high-scoring loss
Joe Burrow completed 25 of 36 passes for 284 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the Cincinnati Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.Burrow was victimized by a pair of line-of-scrimmage interceptions on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter, which ultimately turned the tide of the game. The Bills' Christian Benford made a stellar leaping grab of an attempted screen pass on the first pick, while A.J. Epenesa got ahold of a deflected throw in the second instance. Otherwise, Burrow's second game back after a long layoff saw the 2020 first-round pick thrive despite snowy conditions, connecting on a season-high four touchdown passes to Tee Higgins (21, 25 yards), Chase Brown (10 yards ) and Mike Gesicki (12 yards). Burrow will next face off with the same Ravens squad he upended in his Thanksgiving Night return when Baltimore pays a visit for a Week 15 matchup next Sunday.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Leads upset in return
Joe Burrow completed 24 of 46 passes for 261 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing three times for eight yards in the Cincinnati Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.Making his return from a nine-game absence, Burrow shook off rust as the game went on and put together a strong fantasy performance overall highlighted by 14- and 29-yard touchdown passes to Tanner Hudson and Andrei Iosivas, respectively. Burrow spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers overall, with Ja'Marr Chase unsurprisingly garnering the majority of his attention in the form of 14 targets in the absence of Tee Higgins (concussion). Burrow helped lead the Bengals to 20 second-half points and also benefited from a standout performance by his team's oft-maligned defense, infusing some badly needed momentum ahead of a Week 14 road showdown against Josh Allen and the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Activated from IR
The Cincinnati Bengals activated Joe Burrow (toe) from injured reserve Wednesday.Reports a few weeks ago said Burrow was targeting the Thanksgiving Day game at Baltimore for his return to action. It's now playing out that way, with Burrow having been officially activated after being listed as a full practice participant Monday and Tuesday. He may not have his usual mobility, and definitely won't have Tee Higgins (concussion), but Burrow nonetheless remains a weekly candidate to lead the league in pass attempts and yardage. He said Tuesday that he plans to continue playing down the stretch this season even if it becomes clear that Cincinnati's slim playoff hopes have dwindled to nothing, ESPN's Ben Baby reports.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Full participant at practice
Joe Burrow (toe) was a full participant at practice Tuesday.Burrow has now been listed as a full participant on four of the Cincinnati Bengals' last five practice reports. The quarterback remains on injured reserve for the time being, but assuming his surgically repaired toe holds up well coming out of Tuesday's session, the Bengals could confirm Wednesday that he'll return to action Thursday against the Ravens. Burrow has sat out Cincinnati's last nine games following surgery.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Coach anticipates Week 13 return
Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that he anticipates Joe Burrow (toe) will play Thursday night against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.Taylor admitted the Cincinnati Bengals will work through the week, and he's not willing to declare anything concrete as of Monday, but it does sound like Burrow has a legitimate chance to be under center versus Baltimore on Thanksgiving. Burrow's 21-day window for activation from injured reserve was opened 14 days ago. If he does play Thursday night, it will be Burrow's first action since he was injured 21 snaps into Week 2 against Jacksonville. His return would obviously provide a big boost to the Cincinnati offense as a whole for the final six weeks of the season.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Not playing Sunday
Joe Burrow (toe) won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots and has been downgraded from questionable to out for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Joe Flacco will start against New England as a result. After undergoing surgery Sept. 21 to address a Grade 3 turf toe injury, Burrow was expected to face a three-month recovery, but he's now turned in two straight weeks of practice since being designated for return from IR on Nov. 10. Assuming Burrow continues to make good progress during the Cincinnati Bengals' practice sessions during the upcoming week, he should be ready to return to the lineup for a Thanksgiving Day game in Baltimore on Nov. 27.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Limited Friday, questionable for Sunday
Joe Burrow (toe) was limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.Burrow underwent surgery on Sept. 21 to address the Grade 3 turf toe injury that he suffered Week 2. Initially, he was believed to be facing a three-month recovery, but he's now put together two weeks of practice since the Cincinnati Bengals designated him for return from injured reserve Nov. 10. Prior to Friday's capped session, Burrow logged full practices Wednesday and Thursday, while Joe Flacco, the other QB in the conversation for the Week 12 start, followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week and doesn't have a designation. Speaking on the eventual decision, coach Zac Taylor told Ben Baby of ESPN.com on Friday that the Bengals will "take the time we've got, assess all the practice we've had this week. He's done everything he can to try to put himself and get ready to go." Cincinnati will need to activate Burrow from IR by Saturday afternoon in order for him to have a chance to be active ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
